Lahti Preview – Can Lahti keep run going?
After a bit of a shaky start to this new Finnish top flight season which saw Lahti lose two of their opening three matches overall, Friday afternoon’s hosts have since put together a solid looking eight-match unbeaten run in the Veikkausliiga which has helped them up into 4th place.
Early defeats against KuPS and HJK set Lahti back a little but the hosts have bounced back in positive fashion by winning five of the subsequent eight matches along with winning three of the last four games at home as well.
Lahti have ben reasonably consistent at home, losing just two of their last 16 matches at their Lahden Stadion, and with eight wins along with beating Mariehamn in their last two meetings on the trot, the hosts look in good shape here.
Mariehamn Preview – Can Mariehamn surprise hosts?
A welcome and desperately needed 3-1 win away at KTP last time out in the Veikkausliiga handed Friday’s visitors, Mariehamn, a valuable three-point haul and their first in nine matches, so the visitors will be in a more positive frame of mind for this upcoming clash at Lahti.
Mariehamn had previously crashed to seven defeats in their preceding eight games prior to the win over KTP, and included three straight defeats away from home having suffered losses at KuPS, Inter Turku and SJK respectively.
The bigger picture doesn’t look much brighter either as Mariehamn have managed to pick up just three wins from their last 12 matches on the road, keeping just two clean sheets and conceding 2 goals or more on seven occasions.
